Your so right, who gives a rats arse if its fair or not, just do as you are told, good boy - appathetic attitudes really piss me off - maybe you should become a cop, you seem to think that they are right regardless.

Fact - the SA POL DO NOT ENFORCE THE LAW, WITH REGARDS TO THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT CORRECTLY,  

Fact - TPT SA DO NOT ENFORCE VEHICLE STANDARDS CORRECTLY.

I have had enough of these forums

Take care all.

All the Road Traffic Act and Road Traffic Regulations say with regard to ride height is it has to meet ADRs and have a minimum 100mm clearance. How is that wrong or harsh?

OOOOK......................

Hey, this is reality and they are the RULES and regulations that govern this state. If you dont like it, do your little bid to fight their bullshit like you attempted to last time. Me personally, Ill do my best to keep my cars 'looking' legal. And the one that doesnt, ill just play the game of staying away. There are more serious matters in life to be whinging about defects on an obviously defective car. By the way, how did your little fight against TSA end up again????? :talk2hand

Then there's the 1/3 of suspension travel, then there's the minimum height your headlights must sit... If they don't get you on one thing they will get you on another *when they want to*.

Adam,

I actually hav'nt looked at the reg's for sa. however i do know that a 100mm block is passed under your car at a regency pk inspection and cannot foul anthing under your car-eg:exhaust, handbrake cables, electrical cables or suspension components etc..

When did I say it wasn't 100mm? I've said it is twice! It can foul under the car on a few things though

Ground clearance

 73. (1) In this rule:

 

"ground clearance", of a vehicle, means the minimum distance to the ground from a point on the underside of the vehicle, except a point on a tyre, wheel, wheel hub, brake backing plate or flexible mudguard or mudflap of the vehicle.

 

 (2) A motor vehicle or combination must have a ground clearance of:

 

(a)at least 100 millimetres at any point within 1 metre of an axle; and

 

(b)at least one‑thirtieth of the distance between the centres of adjacent axles at the midpoint between them; and

 

©at any other point—at least the distance that allows the vehicle or combination to pass over a peak in the road with a gradient on either side of 1:15, if the wheels of 1 axle of the vehicle or combination are on the slope on one side of the peak and the wheels of the next axle are on the slope on the other side.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
